Genesis 14
1 And it came to pass in the reign of Amarphal king of Sennaar, and Arioch king of Ellasar, that Chodollogomor king of Elam, and Thargal king of nations,
Na ɛbaa sɛ Babiloniahene Amrafel, Elasarhene Ariok, Elamhene Kedorlaomer, Goiimhene Tideal bere so,
2 made war with Balla king of Sodom, and with Barsa king of Gomorrha, and with Sennaar, king of Adama, and with Symobor king of Seboim and the king of Balac, this is Segor.
na saa ahemfo yi ne Sodomhene Birsa, Gomorahene Birsa, Admahene Sinab, Seboimhene Semeber ne Belahene a na wɔfrɛ no Soar no dii ako.
3 All these met with one consent at the salt valley; this is [now] the sea of salt.
Saa ahemfo yi a wɔyɛ Sodomhene, Gomorahene, Admahene, Seboimhene ne Belahene boaboaa wɔn asraafo ano wɔ Sidim subon a ɛno ne Nkyene Po no mu.
4 Twelve years they served Chodollogomor, and the thirteenth year they revolted.
Wɔsom Kedorlaomer mfe dumien, na afe a ɛto so dumiɛnsa mu no, wɔtew atua.
5 And in the fourteenth year came Chodollogomor, and the kings with him, and cut to pieces the giants in Astaroth, and Carnain, and strong nations with them, and the Ommaeans in the city Save.
Afe akyi no, Kedorlaomer ne ahemfo a wɔbɛkaa ne ho no tuu ɔsa. Na wɔko dii saa nnipa yi so nkonim: Refaimfo, a wɔwɔ Asterot-Karnaim ne Susifo a wɔwɔ Ham ne Emifo a wɔwɔ Kiriataim
6 And the Chorrhaeans in the mountains of Seir, to the turpentine tree of Pharan, which is in the desert.
ne Horifo a wɔwɔ bepɔw Seir so de kosi El-Paran a ɛda sare ano no.
7 And having turned back they came to the well of judgement; this is Cades, and they cut in pieces all the princes of Amalec, and the Amorites dwelling in Asasonthamar.
Afei, wɔsan wɔn akyi baa En-Mispat a akyiri no, wɔfrɛɛ no Kades bekunkum Amalekfo ne Amorifo nso a na wɔte Hasason-Tamar, sɛee wɔn man no nyinaa.
8 And the king of Sodom went out, and the king of Gomorrha, and king of Adama, and king of Seboim, and king of Balac, this is Segor, and they set themselves in array against them for war in the salt valley,
Afei, saa ahemfo baanum yi a wɔne Sodomhene, Gomorahene, Admahene, Seboimhene ne Belahene a wɔfrɛ no Soar no kɔɔ
9 against Chodollogomor king of Elam, and Thargal king of nations, and Amarphal king of Sennaar, and Arioch king of Ellasar, the four kings against the five.
saa ahemfo baanan yi a wɔne Elamhene Kedorlaomer, Goiimhene Tideal, Sinearhene Amrafel ne Elasarhene Ariok nkyɛn. Wokohyiaa wɔ Sidim subon mu.
10 Now the salt valley [consists of] slime-pits. And the king of Sodom fled and the king of Gomorrha, and they fell in there: and they that were left fled to the mountain country.
Na nkomoa pii wɔ Sidim Bon no mu a wɔatu ama wɔ hɔ pɛn. Enti ɛbaa sɛ Sodomhene ne Gomorahene asraafo no reguan no, wɔn mu bi kɔtotɔɔ nkomoa no mu, na nkae no nso guan kɔɔ mmepɔw a na ɛwɔ hɔ no so.
11 And they took all the cavalry of Sodom and Gomorrha, and all their provisions, and departed.
Ahemfo baanan a wodii nkonim no fom Sodom ne Gomorafo ahode ne wɔn nnuan nyinaa de kɔe.
12 And they took also Lot the son of Abram's brother, and his baggage, and departed, for he lived in Sodom.
Esiane sɛ na Abram nuabarima ba Lot te Sodom asase so no nti, nkonimdifo no faa ɔno ne nʼagyapade nyinaa kɔe.
13 And one of them that had been rescued came and told Abram the Hebrew; and he lived by the oak of Mamre the Amorite the brother of Eschol, and the brother of Aunan, who were confederates with Abram.
Na Sodom ne Gomora aguanfo no mu baako bɛbɔɔ Hebrini Abram ɔko no mu amanneɛ. Saa bere no, na Abram abɔ ne ho atenase wɔ odum kwae bi a ɛyɛ Amorini Mamrɛ de no ase. Mamrɛ yi nso, na ne nuanom ne Eskol ne Aner a na wɔyɛ Abram aboafo no.
14 And Abram having heard that Lot his nephew had been taken captive, numbered his own home-born [servants] three hundred and eighteen, and pursued after them to Dan.
Bere a Abram tee sɛ wɔafa ne busuani Lot dommum no, ɔboaboaa ne fifo nnipa ahaasa ne dunwɔtwe a wɔatetew wɔn sɛ akofo ano, maa wotiw atamfo no, kosii kurow bi a wɔfrɛ no Dan mu.
15 And he came upon them by night, he and his servants, and he struck them and pursued them as far as Choba, which is on the left of Damascus.
Da no anadwo, Abram kyekyɛɛ nʼakofo no mu ma wɔtow hyɛɛ atamfo no so, kunkum wɔn, taa wɔn koduu kurow bi a wɔfrɛ no Hoba a ɛwɔ Damasko atifi fam no mu.
16 And he recovered all the cavalry of Sodom, and he recovered Lot his nephew, and all his possessions, and the women and the people.
Abram gyee ɔko mu nneɛma a wɔfaa no nyinaa faa ne busuani Lot ne nʼagyapade ne mmea ne nnipa foforo a wɔkyekyeree wɔn no nyinaa san bae.
17 And the king of Sodom went out to meet him, after he returned from the slaughter of Chodollogomor, and the kings with him, to the valley of Saby; this was the plain of the kings.
Abram kodii Kedorlaomer ne ahemfo a na wɔka ne ho no so nkonim akyi no, Sodomhene behyiaa no wɔ Sawe bon a ɛno ara na wɔfrɛ no Ɔhene Bon no mu.
18 And Melchisedec king of Salem brought forth loaves and wine, and he was the priest of the most high God.
Na Salemhene Melkisedek a na ɔyɛ Ɔsorosoro Nyankopɔn sɔfo no de brodo ne nsa brɛɛ no,
19 And he blessed Abram, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, who made heaven and earth,
behyiraa Abram se: “Ɔsorosoro Nyankopɔn a ɔbɔɔ ɔsoro ne asase, Nhyira nka wo, Abram.
20 and blessed be the most high God who delivered your enemies into your power. And Abram gave him the tithe of all.
Na nhyira nka Ɔsorosoro Nyankopɔn a ɔde wʼatamfo ahyɛ wo nsam no.” Na Abram maa Melkisedek nneɛma a ne nsa kae no nyinaa mu biara nkyekyɛmu du mu baako.
21 And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the men, and take the horses to yourself.
Sodomhene no ka kyerɛɛ Abram se, “Fa me nnipa a wofaa wɔn no ma me na wo nso, fa nneɛma a aka no nyinaa.”
22 And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I will stretch out my hand to the Lord the most high God, who made the heaven and the earth,
Nanso Abram ka kyerɛɛ Sodomhene no se, “Madi nsew aka ntam akyerɛ AWURADE, Ɔsorosoro Nyankopɔn, ɔsoro ne asase yɛfo se,
23 [that] I will not take from all your goods from a string to a shoe-latchet, lest you should say, I have made Abram rich.
Merennye biribiara, sɛ ɛyɛ asaawa hama baako anaa mpaboa so hama mpo, mfi wo nkyɛn, na woanka da sɛ, ‘Me na memaa Abram nyaa ne ho.’
24 Except what things the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men that went with me, Eschol, Aunan, Mambre, these shall take a portion.
Merennye hwee mfi wo nkyɛn, gye nea me mmarima yi adi nko. Me nkurɔfo Aner, Eskol ne Mamrɛ de, ma wɔn wɔn kyɛfa.”
